Livio Felluga

History

It 'easy to see that the history of Livio Felluga and its wine is intertwined with the history of that particular land surrounding the extreme northeast of the Adriatic, the contact point between the Mediterranean and Central Europe.

History of boundaries changed several times, empires have disappeared, that wars are past, stories of people who have stopped here.

It 's the story of a family that has passed through two world wars, lived first Austro-Hungarian Empire and then the young Kingdom of Italy, has lived on the rocky coast of the Istrian peninsula and the degree lagoon, then settle for the gentle foothills hills of Friuli.

Return to Italy was not easy for the veterans of World War II, especially for those who left the family at this battered corner of the Adriatic Sea.

They found no more fair bridgehead in Europe: the physical boundaries, political and ethnic conflicts had changed, altered forever, as the agricultural and social landscape of the hill.

The peasant population was leaving, depleting the earth and to abandon crops, values and traditions associated with it. Livio Felluga had to take a new battle to resurrect the hill convinced that only the revival of the cultivation of quality could bring life in the Friuli countryside.

With great courage he began to rearrange the old vines and planting new, introducing ideas and innovative methods.

Hard work made with great tenacity and passion that will take him over the years created one of the most beautiful and important business realities, acquiring full rights to the title conferred on him by unanimously re-founder of the Friulian wine tradition.

Impressed that wine was delivered as scheduled - called me 1 day before to arrange time, called me again 20 mins before they arrived, and wine delivered within the time frame scheduled. Wines were packed well too. Thanks!
